Module Structure

The IP Media Server for HMP demo uses a modular architecture, in which each technology (IP,
voice, fax, CSP)) is wrapped inside a module so that a particular technology can be easily added or
removed.
The system contains three modules:
• IP module that serves as the front end to communicate with the IP network
• Voice module to provide voice service
Fax module to provide fax service
•
The system also contains a software component, the EventRouter, to connect the modules. The
basic architecture of the system is illustrated in Figure 2.

State Machine
Each module is composed of four elements:
Board
•
Device
•
• State Machine (call control)
• Wrapper
The Wrapper acts like a manager, receiving requests from the EventRouter and distributing the
request to the boards or devices. A device can have one or multiple state machines attached to it.
Each state machine represents one call.
